As we wrap up Engineers Week, our President & CEO, Pat Ready, reflects on his journey to becoming the engineer he is today! Read more below....
"In high school, I enjoyed drafting class and did well in math and science, which led me to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering at Iowa State University. After my first semester, I decided to shift my focus to civil engineering and the rest, as they say, is history. Now, as I mark my 31st year, I can confidently say that the most rewarding aspect of my career has been making a positive impact on people’s lives. Whether leading our team at Origin Design or collaborating with colleagues, developers, council members, or citizens, I’ve truly enjoyed the journey. Cheers to Engineers Week, to our team at Origin, to all engineers, and a sincere thank you to those who trust us to bring your visions to life!"
